Janitor

Your dimly lit hellhole of a closet.

Knowing the Janitor

At it's core, the job of a janitor is to keep the station clean. However, there is little incentive to do so unless you care about round score or personal objectives (you weirdo). That said, the janitor gets his own office (the custodial closet) and has a variety of unique toys to play with. Coupled with having very little responsibility to the station, that makes the janitor a great beginner job.

The Janitor's Arsenal

All of these items spawn in the custodial closet.

Mop: The basic floor-cleaning device. Using it on a floor will attempt to wash it. Before washing can occur, the mop must first be wet.

Mop Bucket: The big yellow bucket on wheels. Can hold a large amount of liquid to dip your mop in, but must be dragged around behind you.

Wet Floor Signs: Put these down after you mop a busy intersection and simply point to them and sigh after people slip on wet floors. Mopping without putting down wet floor signs is general regarded as an open invitation for the crew to space your mop bucket (and you, if they're feeling particularly ornery).

Galoshes: The janitor's unique footwear. Prevents slipping on wet floors when worn, though you are still vulnerable to space lube.

Mousetraps: Besides killing the Chef's only friend, these can be used to just annoy folks or for more nefarious purposes with the right equipment. Anyone who steps on an armed mousetrap while barefoot will be stunned and take damage.

Cleaner Grenades: A powerful anti-filth explosive. Click on it while it is in your active hand to pull the pin, then throw it. Explodes in a big cloud of foam that will remove most filth, but make the floors wet.

Spray Bottles: Versatile liquid-spraying device. Some of the bottles come filled with Space Cleaner, a strong cleaning chemical that doesn't leave floors wet. The other bottles are empty and can be filled with other liquids such as water. Scientists covet these items because they can be used to delivery nasty chemicals into people's faces.

Sponge: Used to dry up floors. Why you would ever want to do that is a mystery.

Syndicate Janitors

The Syndicate Janitor is well equipped for a messy, horrifying rampage. His Syndicate Cleaner Grenades appear to be regular at first, but in fact lay down a mess of acid and space lube in their path. Anyone who holds still will be horribly burned; anyone who runs away or moves into help will smash their face as they slip on the space lube. Your regular cleaning grenades also serve as an excellent getaway tool, slipping up the Security forces out for your blood while you run off unharmed. If you can gain access to Chemistry, you can load your empty spray bottles with devastating concoctions or turn them into makeshift flamethrowers. Finally, the syndicate trash compactor, disguised as a regular trash container, will quickly turn any slipped victim you capture into a cube of meat that explodes into messy (and uncloneable) gibs.
